to, (quite a few; certainly over what I can count on both hands) I still
have yet to see a buff in the air. Why is that?

You need to lobby your higher-ups, to let you (or someone) do some more
fly-bys at air shows.

One of these days, I hope I'll see one!

I don't know what to tell you bro. I've seen the BUFF in a couple of
air shows and even flown in one. I unfortunately can't lobby my higher
ups for air show performances as a.) we only own two aircraft b.) we are
AFMC and ACC owns the vast majority of BUFFs c.) I'm a Lt, who listens
to Lt's? Especially ones who are engineers?

Best I can offer you is to go to Andrews AFB air show, or Langley AFB
air show both will have a high probability of having BUFFs fly on the
East coast. Barksdale AFB or Minot AFB would be good bets for seeing a
BUFF in the middle of the country. Edwards AFB is your best bet on the
West coast. Don't know where you are, but chances are you'll need to
travel to see the might BUFF airborne.
